TSA Pre✓ saves you time and stress. With your membership, you can speed through security and don’t need to remove your:

Light jackets

Shoes

Belts

Laptops

3-1-1 Liquids

TSA uses unpredictable security measures, both seen and unseen, throughout the airport. All travelers will be screened, and no individual is guaranteed expedited screening.

How it works:

Once approved for a Trusted Traveler program, members receive a TSA Pre✓ number - also known as a Known Traveler Number(KTN). Customers may save their KTN in agency, airline frequent flyer, or Defense Travel System profiles or enter the KTN into the Known Traveler field when making a reservation. Agencies provide the KTN in the SSRDOCO.

The KTN membership number enables the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Secure Flight System to verify that you are eligible to participate in TSA Pre✓

Service members or DoD Federal Civilians may enter their DoD Number (from the back of CAC) as a Known Number. They can supply their Known Number to a travel agent just like a Global Entry member.

DoD federal civilian employees must opt-in to TSA Pre✓® by visiting the milConnect website. After selecting the “My Profile” and the “CIV” menu tab when logged into the website, users will be guided through the opt-in process for TSA Pre✓. Civilian employees need to opt-in only once. Members of the U.S. Armed Forces do not need to opt-in.

Participating airlines print a TSA Pre✓ indicator (such as TSAPRECHK, TSA PRE, or TSA Pre✓) on boarding passes to help you recognize when you are eligible for TSA Pre✓ on your flight.

TSA Pre✓

TSA Pre✓ selection is under the control of Transportation Security Administration (TSA); airlines do not grant passenger access to TSA Pre✓ expedited screening.

The TSA Pre✓ Application Program is offered by the TSA.

This option is recommended for customers desiring the benefits of TSA Pre✓ and who travel primarily domestically.

Eligibility is available to U.S. citizens, dual citizens and lawful permanent residents.

Enrollment requires completion of an online application, a background check, in-person visit to an enrollment center and a fee.

Global Entry, NEXUS and SENTRI: Trusted Traveler

Global Entry, NEXUS and SENTRI are offered by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

These programs are recommended for customers who travel internationally as well as domestically. They offer expedited customs clearance upon arrival in the U.S. and include TSA Pre✓ expedited screening.

Customers are required to have a passport.

Enrollment requires completing an online application, a background check, in-person visit to an enrollment center and a fee.

Effective October 1, 2017, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection launched its newest cloud based website, the Trusted Traveler Programs (TTP) System, which replaced the Global Online Enrollment System (GOES). The migration to the new TTP website will not impact your membership or current applications for Global Entry, SENTRI, and NEXUS.

Enrollment on Arrival is a program operated by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to allow Global Entry applicants who are conditionally approved to complete their interviews upon arrival into the United States.
